A Fantabulous Father's Day!

What a great Father's Day! I think the best part of today was just being around the kids. They were amazingly well behaved at Church. Lil and Emmaline played very contentedly on the bench, and Idgie was just happy being held (amazingly enough). I actually got to pay attention to most of Sacrament Meeting!

Oh! And then there was Emmaline "singing" with the rest of the primary kids. I think she'd have rather been anywhere else but up on the stand. She was looking this way and that, and twirling around, and playing with her hair. But she sure was cute. :-)

For Father's Day, Emmaline has heard me complaining about my car (the transmission is in the process of dying... but it's not dead yet!), and so she decided that she wanted to get daddy a new car! Bethany took her to the The Present Store, and apparently she knew exactly what she wanted to get me - a green car! (Which, if you've been reading the blog before, is fairly similar to what she wanted at one point...) Bethany got me an alarm clock that connects to my iPod so I can wake up to Blue Man Group - it rocks.

The best thing I got, though, was a new grill! You see, we've been without a grill since the Incident Which Shall Not Be Named™. And we used the grill fairly often, so 6 months without it has been rough. Turns out, though, that the timing was great for getting a new grill! And having BBQ and other assorted grilled foods once again is just heavenly.



All-in-all, a good day to be reminded that being a dad is a good thing. And the girls are proof enough of that.
